Guinness may not be my "cup of tea" (if you'll pardon the not-quite-apropos figure of speech), but I can at least see how someone could enjoy a beer like that for its flavor. That's certainly not the case with, say, Milwaukee's Best. I've said it before, but if that's the best Milwaukee can come up with, I shudder to think of their worst. True enough, Dwight.

They probably aren't that easy to divide. @Jackson I have no idea what you are talking about. Anyway. Other beer might not be your thing, but it definately stops tasting like urine when you get away from mass produced NA stuff... @speearr I think there are two levels of addiction, physical (i.e. chemical) and psycological.

I mean, drinking alone really sucks, and drinking at the same bar can only be fun the first 100 times, so unless you bar-hop a lot and have a huge load of drinking buddies.....

Reminds me of that exchange from Happy Gilmore...you know, the one about what Shooter McGavin eats for breakfast? :) @Al Creed: Hey, you're from the Thinkin' Lincoln forums! Thanks for checking out the comics. Thanks also for voicing your beer opinions. It is true: crappy beer abounds all over North America. @Speearr: Control is good indeed. I think it's worth noting that the consequences for drinking too much are rather more severe than the consequences for drinking too little. Impaired judgment, hangovers, and potential alcoholism vs. maybe possibly having a little less fun at the party...well, it's pretty obvious where my bias lies. @Dwight: I still can't get into Guinness. It's so dang <i>cold!</i> @all: Wow, lotsa replies! Thanks for opining, guys. :) @Tsu-chan: Hee hee.

The only beer I've had is Molson and Labatt. Corona too, but that tastes like fermented orange juice. Actually, I’m Canadian. The only beer I’ve had is Molson and Labatt.

Even before God got a hold of me. I come from a family of alcoholics. My dad gave up drinking when I was little, but all of my brothers still drink. It makes for akward family gatherings (wedding receptions, etc). I see what it does to them -how hooked they are- and I want not part of it. That's why don't drink.
